Detailed explanation-1: -Motor areas: These areas of your cerebral cortex are involved in voluntary muscle movement. These functions are processed mainly by your frontal lobe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The motor cortex comprises three different areas of the frontal lobe, immediately anterior to the central sulcus. These areas are the primary motor cortex (Brodmann’s area 4), the premotor cortex, and the supplementary motor area (Figure 3.1).
Detailed explanation-3: -The four lobes of the brain are the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes (Figure 2). The frontal lobe is located in the forward part of the brain, extending back to a fissure known as the central sulcus . The frontal lobe is involved in reasoning, motor control, emotion, and language.
Detailed explanation-4: -The primary somatic sensory cortex lies on the postcentral gyrus. On the other hand the primary motor cortex lies within the precentral gyrus and contains neurons that project directly to the spinal cord.
